A current elementary school teacher said that students who have been exposed to smartphones from a young age are likely to show excessive behavior.

On the 14th, Mr. A, a teacher at an elementary school, posted a post titled ‘Things I felt as a 10-year elementary school teacher’ on an anonymous community for office workers, saying, “Personal thoughts I felt while talking with several teachers and hundreds of children until now”.

He said, “There is a common point that students who show emotional and behavioral excesses or have noticeably low concentration have been exposed to smartphones from a young age. Especially, children who have been exposed to short-form videos such as TikTok and YouTube Shorts have had a hard time focusing on one thing for a long time,” and advised to give smartphones as late as possible.

In addition, Mr. A said that advanced learning could be a thread, and recommended perfectly reviewing what was learned that year during the winter vacation.

He said, “If you have perfectly mastered the math concepts of the current grade and the previous grade, advanced learning will help, but if not, it will have a great negative impact,” and said, “Students themselves confine themselves to the frame that they are smart students who do advanced learning and do not try to find and acknowledge the parts that were deficient in previous learning.”

Mr. A said that when teaching, more than half of the 30 students cannot recall the concepts they learned in the previous grade.

“The math you learn in elementary school becomes the basis for all the math you will learn in the future. You learn what points, lines, and surfaces are, what fractions are, what multiplication is, and what division is. It’s like learning the basics of the overall content of math. If you don’t set the basic framework correctly, it will eventually collapse. You may be in a hurry, but back to basics is important.”

Mr. A also said that teachers should never be criticized in front of children. He said that there may be enough uncomfortable points or complaints about the teacher, but it is forbidden to criticize the teacher in front of the children and recommended talking directly to the teacher.

“Children are mirrors of their parents. Whether consciously or unconsciously, what you say has a big impact on the child’s values. If the child sees the parent criticizing the teacher a lot, the child follows the parent’s behavior and disrespects the teacher at school. With a 100% chance. In this case, it is difficult to educate the child at school. Ultimately, it never has a good effect on the child.”

The author emphasized that children should be raised politely.

He said, “Polite students are popular in the class. There are manners to keep in various relationships,” and said, “Students who behave politely in various relationships such as between friends and between friends and teachers, and who greet appropriately at the right time and place are popular. Do you think students don’t know which friends greet well and are polite? Not at all.”

He added, “If you investigate the relationship between classmates, you can find that students do not show it, but they evaluate friends who are polite and greet well, and want to be friends with such friends.”

Finally, the author said that the basis of all subjects is Korean, and said the following.

“The literacy of today’s children is low. They don’t concentrate, so they don’t try to understand sentences. Math, social studies, science… The basis of all subjects is Korean. It’s a pity that children with poor literacy show difficulties in all other subjects in a chain. I would like to emphasize that you should practice improving literacy by reading with your parents and talking about the content.”

Netizens are showing reactions such as “I showed my smartphone for a while to relax, but I reflect on it”, “Indeed, a child is a mirror of a parent”, “I have a nephew who is a primary school student and I agree with this article”, “You only spoke simple and clear right words”, and “I’m an 8-year elementary school teacher, and all the contents of the article are correct.”
